Summary

Thank you for joining me tonight. State of Origin never fails to deliver, does it?

A brilliant win for Queensland sets up the series superbly. I’ll be back here in a couple of weeks to see if the Blues can exact revenge in Perth. Join me then.

Here’s your match report from this evening. Reaction to follow.

Next stop Perth, a fortnight on Sunday, for a must-win fixture for the out of sorts Blues. And then, if the series remains alive, one final shot in Brisbane. This away victory puts Queensland firmly in the driving seat and NSW with history against them.
